• Has specific responsibility been assigned for the execution of business continuity and disaster recovery plans (either within or outside of the information security function)?
• Has the organization established an enterprise-wide business continuity/disaster recovery program that is consistent with requirements, policy, and applicable guidelines?
• Testing, Maintaining & Re-assessing Business Continuity Plans: Are business continuity plans tested & updated regularly to ensure that they are up to date and effective?
• Does the recovery site have adequate resources to accommodate the institutions employees by providing basic necessities and enabling them to conduct business?
• How will management continue operations if employees are unable or unwilling to return to work due to personal losses, closed roads, or unavailable transportation?
• Have employees received cross training, and has the department defined back-up functions/roles that employees should perform if key personnel are not available?
